Math Problem Statement
Express the interval in set-builder notation and graph the interval on a number line.
[-3, 3)
Solution
The interval in set-builder notation is expressed as:
This represents the set of all real numbers such that is greater than or equal to and strictly less than .
Graphing on a Number Line:
- A closed dot is used at to indicate that is included in the interval.
- An open dot is used at to indicate that is not included in the interval.
- The segment between and is shaded to show all numbers between them.
Would you like me to provide more details or answer any questions? Here are five related questions:
- How do you express an open interval in set-builder notation?
- What is the difference between a closed and open interval?
- How would the graph of differ from this interval?
- How do we represent the union of two intervals on a number line?
- Can intervals include infinity, and how would that affect set-builder notation?
Tip: Remember, square brackets mean the endpoint is included, while parentheses mean the endpoint is excluded.
